WOW! Time went so fast!! I've been on Maintenance over 6 years now and other than the first two weeks after surgery it has been the most exciting ride I've ever been on.
I haven't struggled with regain. My personal goal was 125 and I have settled in the 118-120 range. I weigh myself every morning and if I see 121 I immediately go into extra Protein mode and carbs are cut back. It's important to stop regain ASAP.
I still believe in Protein Drinks and basing my meals on Protein. I also still eat numerous small Protein meals a day. I call them snacks on my LW Menues and Miles posts but they are scheduled like meals. It's when I let myself get hungry that I make bad choices.
I'm sooooo Thankful for my Lightweights! You are such a big part of my Success!

Hey girls, mixed emotions this morning.....pulled out a pair of my older (smaller) jeans this morning and they're too baggy....sort of annoyed me, dumb right? So I grab another pair I haven't worn in while and they were more than baggy, like fall off my hips and that made me laugh! Well then throw that dang scale in the mix and we have a whirlwind of pissed-offness!! I've been on plan all week and it will not move....oh if I shuffle it around the floor to a different spot it may lose a few ounces but come on!! END OF RANT

I remember how excited I was when I went shopping the first year. My style is so different than it was before WLS.
Sounds Good!

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Good morning, its been busy all ready because I was out shopping ALL night, I didn't get my menu planned. Despite the rush this morning, I've got a good plan!
Shopping was deemed a success!! I got 4 new tops, a smokin' hot lil' black dress for the wedding and a blinged up pair of strappy sandals for said dress. Also got a little leather like jacket with a knitted hoodie, so cute! I couldn't buy little things like that before. Struck out on any pants, refuse to pay $50 for a pair of leggings that I might (hopefully) wear only a couple months or so. Anyway, my girlfriend is a super shopper, I didn't try one thing on that she didn't love (which can be expensive) and I tried things on I never would have before!
So here's the menu
B - 1 egg, 1 slice cheese
S - greek yogurt
L - 4 oz chicken sautéed with onions and red pepper, 2 tbsp. sour cream, 1/2 oz cheddar
S - 3.5 oz meatballs with 50 grams tomato sauce
D - Bacon wrapped sirloin
S - 1/2 premier protein shake
Totals - Cal 922, carbs 31, protein 109
Gotta jump! Have a great day!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
I eat Saltines with my soups and Laughing Cow Cheese spread. It has never seemed to effect the scale.
Do you have a Protein Total you are suppose to have every day?
Sounds Good!

I wouldn't worry as much about the Calorie total as I would the Protein Total. I never counted calories during my losing stage. I'd like to see your Protein total higher though.
